Tongues - Swamp Mom // Lost Dad
Emocat is happy to present the debut EP of Toronto's 'Tongues'. Megan and Nicole share multi instrument, vocal and programming duties to weave a playfully demented tapestry of sound. This is music for the technologically privileged children of a post-singularity future. The opening credits to Saved By The Bell if it took place on the Mars of Total Recall. The first song is a reimagining of a traditional folk song into a dirge with a sombre atmosphere and pitch shifted vocals. The second song is much more playful with no-wave tinged synths and talk singing. The third song (our personal favourite) is the longest on the EP and opens with guitar lines that sound straight out of the 90s Kentucky post-hardcore scene. Playful is the best word to describe the groove the band locks into when they hit their stride. Lo-fi synths and samples weave their way around a shuffling bassline until the end.
We are very excited to be releasing this and look forward to hearing more from them.

Terrifying Girls' High School got mentioned by the kind folks over at DIY Conspiracy!
"Next onto ‘Picking Poisons’ were there’s two vocals than on the previous tracks, causing an amazing avalanche of wordy paranoia and fear, much to the nods of The Plot to Blow the Eiffel Tower." —PHILLIP STOUNN, DIY Conspiracy!
We can assure you there is much more TGHS coming and they will be making an appearance at the Pathetica music festival in Vancouver this summer.

A big thank you to Filip of Confusion Specialist Records - a small DIY tape/net label from Belgrade, Serbia for hosting the TGHS EP and for the kind words in his mini review. We hold similar ethics and they have a lot of quality music and tapes available. They are definitely worth your time to check out and support and we can almost guarantee you will find something that catches your ear.
It's always a pleasure to be brought together with likeminded individuals through art and the internet which connects us all.
